Fed has done several studies on past changes in margin requirements but has found no predictable effects (if my memory still serves me <g>.) I don't think they'd go that route. Regarding reserve requirement changes, such a policy alternative would indirectly increase cost of funds but acts on an already uncertain money multiplier which could introduce further distortions for policymakers currently scratching their heads about money supply growth. In contrast, open market operations are generally more flexible, can be given guidance, easier to change and more acceptable to the banking community. I'm looking for No-Action from the Fed today.
